A Lot of Love

This restaurant focuses on healthy dishes made from fresh produce, using olive oil instead of butter. Enveloped in pastel pink and green, French bistro seating, a wood-panelled counter and gold-rimmed windows converge for a modern-vintage feel. Order the broccoli fritters (B160) served with homemade yogurt sauce, and the crunchy zucchini som tam with shrimp (B240). End your meal with a healthy brownie (B95), made without sugar, flour, or butter.
